The Faculty of Engineering at the University of Sydney has a very long history having commenced in 1883 and has produced many distinguished graduates who have contributed immensely to the infrastructure of Sydney and Australia, and played a major role in the Australian economy through the engineering activities of the industries in which they have been employed. Our graduates are recognised world wide, particularly since our programs are accredited by Engineers Australia our professional engineering body in Australia. Engineers Australia are authorised under the Washington Accord to accredit 4 year Engineering Degree Programs to a world wide standard thus affording our graduates professional recognition in many countries.

The School of Aerospace, Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering is one of the largest in these disciplines in Australia. The school has established strong links with local industry, global industries and international research groups. Joining us here will give you access to some of the best Engineering opportunities available in many innovative and fast developing technology areas.

Our engineering programs are designed to produce engineers who are well educated in the fundamentals but have acquired problem solving and design skills to allow them to work in a large range of industries.
Graduates of the School will:

• be able to create new knowledge and understanding through the process of research and inquiry;
• be able to use information effectively in a range of contexts;
• be able to work independently, in a way that is informed by openness, curiosity and a desire to meet new challenges;
• hold personal values and beliefs consistent with their role as responsible members of local, national, international and professional communities;
• recognise and value communication as a tool for negotiating and creating new understanding, interacting with others, and furthering their own learning.

The school has strong programs in Aeronautical, Biomedical, Mechanical, Mechatronic and Space Engineering. Our Research and Teaching programs are practically oriented. Our students construct aircraft, racing cars and submarines. They design satellites, navigation systems and biomedical implants. We frequently seek advice on our programs from industry and make use of adjunct staff to teach in areas of great practical value to students. We have substantial funding from industry to support much of our research work.

We also take pride in the flexibility of our programs. Students entering the Faculty can take a Flexible First Year program before deciding on the specialisation that they wish to follow in later years. We offer combined degrees with Science, Commerce, Medical Science, Arts and Law, we have one of the most flexible programs in Australia.

We hope you choose to study engineering at the University of Sydney, and are certain your time here will be a rewarding one.
